The statement said that the state Police command under Lakanu have arrested many criminals, including kidnappers, car snatchers among others, in hundreds, and charged them accordingly, adding that the people of the state have had cause to sleep at nights in his period than before.

Lakamu is said to be personally patrolling and leading operation Kpochapu (operation clear criminals) that was inaugurated last year. He also gave out his personal mobile telephone numbers to monarchs and the people to contact him in case of any criminal offence.
